I think you need to give more description of what type and amount of
data for people to give suggestions.
- How much data will you produce and at what rate?
- Do you require compression and/or fast I/O?
- How is the data to be structured?
- Do you want on-file and in-memory structures to be similar?
- Will the structure likely evolve over time?
- What applications need to access it (eg, custom, proprietary)?
Depending on the answers, certainly, ROOT's file format and libraries
provide many useful I/O features. http://root.cern.ch/ for more info.
Debian packages are available.
